Reading
Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.
☉ Sun in Taurus · house 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 11
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.30°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.54°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.86°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.15°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.91°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
